Except hydro. Hydro is fine. Much of Canada uses hydro and it results in super cheap electricity year round.
To me, it's one of the examples showing it was never about renewable energy that there aren't dozens of major hydro projects right now in every country with the geography to support it.

Desalination powered by nuclear or hydro (or even solar in places like California) seems like a game changer to me.
That might be true in many places, but not everywhere. Hydro got hit hard as "not green" because it's effective and boring. In particular, Canada is fully capable of going fully hydro -- half the provinces already are -- but there's no political will for it, only for magic boxes that don't so fuck all 9 months of the year.
Most of Canada should be declaring independence from Toronto and the St. Lawrence seaway.
